Well ladies...I have offically beat the record for the longest labor. 156 hours of shear bliss/pain...and I delivered my little "Hellga". She looks like crystal, and measures a whoppin size four. I am so proud of her. (I may hate her...but I am proud that she is OUT!)
Labor story....
Yesterday, (while at work) I thought for sure my life was ending. I was trying to be tough and go drug free...idiot!! After toughing it out for as long as possible, (3hours) I left work, in tears, and headed off to the doctor. After two shots in the butt...and a sonic chicken wrap, I was off to the hospital. The shots were pain reliever and nausea medicine...the chicken wrap, was because I hadn't eatten...in quite some time. At the hospital (which felt like a freaking freezer) they did an ultrasound to find out if I was going to need surgery. I will leave the graffic goods out...but basically because "Hellga" was blocking my ureters...fluid was backing up into my kidney. NOT GOOD! So, after shivering to death and tears, we left the hospital (5 hours between dr and hosp...grrrr).
This morning I had an emergancy apt with the pee doctor to see if they needed to admit me for surgery...I think little "Hellga" freaked out about the idea, and decided to pop out...minutes before my doctors apt. What a little punk! Needless to say, I feel like a whole new woman. Today I got to enjoy the aftermath of a kidney stone...a SUPER sore body (esp back and stomach) and the nausea that comes with it...however, I will take that ANY DAY over a kidney stone.
Thank you all for your prayers, sweet text messages and phone calls. Even though I may not remember talking to you...it was the thought that counted:)
It will be great to get back to my "normal" life....that is, life without drugs. I HATE taking those things...but could not have lived without them!!
Now...everyone go drink a big glass of water, because I SWEAR if one more person tells me to drink more...I will drown them. :) Heads up!
PS...if you are wondering where Hellga got her name....her Grandma Donna decided that because she gave me hell for the past week, that Hellga is fitting. I wanted to call her a little *#@%$%$@*&$#% but i'll just call her Hellga for short:)

YAY Lindsey!!!!!! I'm so proud of you, and rebellious little, or should I say massive, Hellga! Shame on her for putting you through so much pain, but I'm so relieved to know that you are on the path to recovery!
I'm so glad it's over! What a horrible thing to have to go through multiple times!
Thank goodness it is over! I am impressed you try to go drug free so much, my love WHY??? I am pounding pills at the first tinge of pain. Are you planning to have your babies natural? Like I said, after this you will think we are all a bunch of whiners. Nonetheless you are ROCKSTAR! congrats
We are so sorry!! Devin cringes every time he hears that anyone has to got through this and now you have been through it how many times?!! Congrats on getting through, hats off to you!!
That deleted comment up there was me. Sorry about that, can't type. CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS... On the new little addition?! When can we meet the little hell-ga? I am SO proud of you for being such a 'rock' durring all that and not being a 'stoner'. haha. okay so I'm not funny. But seriously! I am so sorry for all your pain! Hope you get feeling 100% right away! Luv ya!
You poor, poor, poor, pooooor girl. That sounds worse than giving birth to my six pound infant. At least they have epidurals for that! I'm so happy you feel better! I love you!
CONGRATS! I can't believe what a little (or BIG) thing like that can put someone's body through. It's truly amazing - and the recovery afterwords? I never even thought of that! You are such a trooper. Now go enjoy EATING, and working and lying around, pain-free for a change!
Glad to hear that Hellga has come and now you can get back to normal. :-)
Anyone ever tell you to drink more water?! (tee,hee, hee)
Love ya kiddo!
Linds, I am so glad that Hellga finally came out! That must be so relieving. I am impressed at your strength. I can't imagine how hard that would be. Let's just hope you don't have any more.
cool, clear, water...just remembering the pain and suffering I witnessed makes me take a drink, infact it almost lead me to "drinking". Love and miss you (but not HELLga)!!!
I'm sorry I ever made fun of you. :-( Thanks for listening to me cry!
You have taken away my title of "longest labor." I thought I had it made with 48 hours. You have me beat, and I am NEVER going to try to win it back.
Why didnt you just go drink some water? :D
Lindsey! OUCH! I am so glad Hellga is gone. You poor girl. Dani has had troubles with kidney stones. She just passed one in China last week! She has been miserable, but is good as new now. And I will not tell you to drink lots of water C:
